What is the Dev Home app and should I use it?

03-15-2021, 06:32 PM

All my Windows 11 devices run version 23H2 with the newest updates. I see Dev Home shows up on some systems but not others. I’m curious about what this program is and whether it’s necessary. Do you know where I can find a link to it in the Microsoft Store in the UK?

Are you using Insiders?
Dev Home for Windows Developers is a fresh control panel for Windows that lets you monitor your workflows and coding activities with customizable widgets, configure your development setup, link to developer accounts and tools (like GitHub), and install applications and packages all together.

You probably don't need it.

It appears I also have it, it was downloaded through the Microsoft Store. Unclear why so many are getting it.
Seems like something that should be an optional add-on, not required on every Windows 11 PC.

Yeah, it's strange isn't it? Two of my PCs have it while the other two don't.

It might be they are doing it in phases. If you used the Windows Store on a PC without it, and clicked on the library tab on the left, it could refresh and install them. But it's not necessary unless you're a developer.

Yeah, that's correct. I'm not a coder. It's really hard to get through a computer like that. Thanks again for your assistance.
